The Senate is set to confirm the 200th federal judge of President Joe Biden’s tenure
The Senate is set to confirm the 200th federal judge of President Joe Biden's tenure on Wednesday, about a month earlier than then-President Donald Trump hit that mark, though Trump still holds the edge when it comes to the most impactful confirmations — those to the U.S. Supreme Court and the country's 13 appellate courts. The march to 200 will culminate with the confirmation of Angela Martinez to serve as a federal district judge in Arizona.
“It's been nothing short of transformative of the federal judiciary in terms of both excellence, but also demographic and professional diversity.” At this stage in his term, Trump had two Supreme Court justices and 51 appellate court judges confirmed to lifetime appointments. Biden has tapped one Supreme Court justice and 42 appellate court judges. Biden has more confirmations of the district judges who handle civil and criminal cases. Those nominations tend to be less hard fought.
